Bontz 3,663 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 @X2700 ... LOL, I pulled up this thread and thought to myself, "Holy F!" thinking you were out there TODAY Then noticed you posted this back in July Quote Link to post Share on other sites
p51mstg 393 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) I lost access to a heated shop, but did manage to put a new clutch on the Cat last weekend and a new chaincase seal on the Polaris, when the temp was in single digits. What are the betting odds that any trails in the state will be open on Dec. 1? We've got enough snow to put around the yard and the nearest lake is white all the way across. All it would take (for me) is a good 6-8 inch storm. Edited November 22, 2022 by p51mstg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mag6240 3,157 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 There may be snow on the north shore yet, they have quite a bit - but in talking with some of the bar owners last weekend, they aren't moving real fast on getting things cleaned up for 12/1. I would suspect it will be a few more weeks until things are really opened up... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mnstang 1,288 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Kinda the same thing every year. Swamps. And they're extra full of water this year. Still always nice to see the snow though even if it does delay things 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bontz 3,663 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 We're heading out on Saturday to finish up signing the sections of trail that we couldn't touch due to crops and/or hunting season. Once that's done, I'm hoping the switch is flipped and we get into a pattern of cooler temps and SNOW. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mag6240 3,157 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Our swamps are as dry as ever south of the metro. Super easy mowing and signing this year. Finished my signs yesterday, others are working through today, and a few others are going to go signing on sleds after the snow tonight/tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sled_Hed 2,082 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I'd say our swamps are lower than normal as well. When they are way up just break out "Geesus". 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bontz 3,663 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Down this way where @X2700 and I live, we basically lost all our snow yesterday with all the rain & warmer temps (there wasn't a lot to begin with). Overnight, we picked up a few inches to at least turn everything white again. Heavy/wet snow and if we get this cold snap that's forecasted, it could be a very good start if we continue to get some more snow in the coming weeks. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Next Wednesday’s forecast would set us up nicely!! Heck if we wouldn’t of had these meltdowns we’d be riding now!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mag6240 3,157 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Similar to your west, we didn't lose everything (actually saw some morons riding last night BEFORE this snow) but as you say @Bontz, this cold combined with 4-6" next week, and I will give it a go from the garage... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

teamgreen02 2,095 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Shore is good, just need time to freeze up and for the clubs to clear the trees and get things groomed. Riding before Christmas always seems sketchy but if you got an itch to scratch.... Way more snow this year to start than last year. Highs in single digits or low teens for the next week will help. Compared to last year. By the beginning of April, the snow at the side of the road was taller than my truck. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mnstang 1,288 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Sound's like some nasty weather coming in. What a start to this winter. Man I'm feeling bad for some of the clubs around the farm, it will probably be a month before the trails are really ready between the trees and swamps and more snow coming. I'm going up new years weekend and will probably help out after doing my own work around the property and setting some traps. Never enough time in the days 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never enough time in the days Yeah, if I wasn't down with the crud I would have helped out somewhere this past weekend. It's definitely going to be a long road, especially if the wind the next few days is as bad as they say. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Should be good ... although I'm not sure how soon the groomer will go back out (hoping Monday?). I know we have everything groomed and cleaned up - or at least it was as of Wednesday. Not sure if this wind today will help or hurt things, but I'm hoping everything will be awesome once the drifting is knocked down. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
